I hope all my new Aussie bloggy friends had a fabulous time at the Brisbane bloggers meet up last night. I really wish I could have been there, but alas, have instead been huddled indoors sipping hot lemon and hiding from the minus twenty degree temperatures here in Whistler! Man it’s been cold!
Last week, I started sharing with you my words to live by for this glorious, beautiful year; the first word being exhale.
I rolled into twenty twelve as a newlywed determined to hold onto that freshly married and in-love feeling. I understand that there is a natural and totally okay process that accompanies marriage {or any long term committed relationship}; some where along the line we evolve from ‘in love’ {which is a manifestation from infatuation or even obsession} to plain, just, simple ‘love’.
We put a lot of pressure on the old word love don’t we? As soon as those butterflies dart out of our heart, we assume that we’ve fallen out of love. And then, we become unhappy. I know I used to behave this way in past relationships.
But real, wholesome love truly evolves past falling in love. In it’s evolution comes communication, security, understanding and comfort. And awesome, awesome cuddles. Glen and I are already experiencing this transition, and it’s one that I’m enjoying. However, it’s never too late to invite more physicality into your life; a full love tank makes a happy couple! And so, I barely hesitated to include this in one of my words to live by for 2012: seduce. PG Rated, I promise.

I will keep the romance alive
Now, I didn’t choose this world for marital bliss purposes only. We’re all well keen on manifestation this year, right? Just as I can seduce my husband with romance and quality time, I can use my powers of seduction to draw other possibilities to my life, and so can you. I’ve reiterated this knowledge {power} with some more affirmations…
I will seduce positive energy this way, towards me
So watch out, lovely readers, I’ll be casting a spell on you, too!

January 20, 2012Understanding your partner’s love language is critical. I too have reached the “love” stage of my relationship, and it’s something that I’ve never had before. At first it felt a little scary and strange, but now I enjoy the comfort and security. And the cuddling is the best part.

January 26, 2012Wise words, Tara! I particularly like “all crazy + pretzeled up in love”.
I don’t have much to add, because I agree with pretty much everything you said, but awesome cuddles and honest communication are definitely key!

January 26, 2012I loved the pretzeled up part too! It’s so easy to get busy and tired and not putting enough energy into that part of life. But I also think it’s a lot harder to get that fun and intimacy back once it’s gone go than to keep it going. As far as priorities and affirmations go, what could be better than celebrating love in all it’s forms? You’ve got me thinking about putting more into this part of my life too!
Hope you’re keeping warm… I can’t believe it’s that cold in BC’s mountains! Stay well! And Happy Australia Day!
